Show and Tell - Route 66

There is a little town called Arcadia, OK about 10 minutes from our home. This tiny little town is known for a convenient store on the side of Route 66. This little place is called Pop's. They have literally over 500 different kinds of bottled pop. William and I go there every once and a while and get a mix and match assortment of 6-12 pops. Here are some pictures of this "landmark" on Route 66.

Pop! I haven't heard that word in years. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where everyone used the word. Sadly, down south, where I now reside, every flavor is simply referred to as "Coke." Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

I live in Rochester, NY and we call soda "pop" as well. Until I went to college I didn't realize it was a colloquial phrase. For along time I called it soda. Now I am happy to call it Pop once again. That bottle looks like a fallic symbol. I don't know why that was the first thing I thought of.

What cool pics! I grew up in Ohio calling soda "pop," but then went to school in the south and changed to "soda." Now I can't seem to go back--but I love Pops! The photo with all of the bottles lined up on the shelves is beautiful.
